Sometimes a joke pays off in a way that doubles its initial value. In the wake of several conspiracy theories born as an obvious result of Joerg Haider's demise, I have written a post laughing at some of the more rabid conspinuts. Between other things, I have refurbished an old joke by Steven Wright: "I woke up this morning and discovered that everything in my apartment had been stolen and replaced with an exact replica." In that post of mine, I have written:

During the night Mossad has stolen Haider's car and replaced it with another, identical to the smallest detail to the original one. Even the smell of Haider's underwear was replicated.

And then, naturally, I forgot the whole story. The world turns around quite speedily and something else came up, so...

But recently I have discovered a few hits to this here blog arriving from a blog named AANGIRFAN - whatever it means. I recommend this blog as an excellent non-chemical replacement to ammonia or other similar means to wake yourself to reality. After a few minutes spent on reading its lurid headlines, such as "MI6 PLOTS AGAINST GADDAFI; LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS" or "MOSSAD CHILD SEX RING?", the reality will get through to you even if you have been fed a weekly dose of hallucinogens in one seating. By the way, apologies for the overwhelming upper case, but it's not my fault.

The dastardly Zionists never sleep, according to the Arab rulers, discomfited recently by vox populi. Vox populi, you see, decided that being fed the daily gruel of Zionist conspiracies is not enough. It, the VP, wants to see the leaders being off - either over the horizon somewhere or pushing the daisies (or, to make a correction for climate, pushing the cacti). Still, the stubborn chiefs persist with their tested Zioconspiracy line:

What impressed me in this case was the precision of the president information:

"I am going to reveal a secret," he said. "There is an operations room in Tel Aviv with the aim of destabilizing the Arab world. The operations room is in Tel Aviv and run by the White House," he said.

Yep. Since the truth is already out, here is the picture of the secret room:

More on this seemingly innocuous room here. And this is how the Israeli general in charge of Yemeni unrest looks:

Real distinguished, ruthless officer whose hands were bloodied in many secret operations behind the lines (of all kinds). And here is his American partner:

Of course, these two wily warriors have to best the Yemeni rage boy presented in that article:

But I suspect that the combined weight of ruthlessness, experience and medals will overcome the naive rage...

Despite having just voted to suspend Libya from its ranks (to befinalizedby the UNGA tomorrow), the UN Human Rights Council, according to theagenda of its current session, is planning to "consider and adopt thefinal outcomeof the review of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya." According to the council's timetable, the lengthyreport hailing Libya's human rights record will be presented on March 18, and then adopted by the council at the end of the month. The report, which the UN has published on the councilwebsite, is the outcome of a recent session that was meant to review Libya's human rights record.

To start with, I have stumbled on this offer of adopting a terrorist for prayer.

"Where is the Christian response to terrorism?" the site says. "If the struggle against violence done in the name of Islam is primarily spiritual, then defeating it requires a spiritual response."

While not a Christian, I can see where this idea may have a point. I don't have a problem with praying (or, rather, performing a secular equivalent of same - flossing my teeth or whatever it is) for a whole list of arch-terrorists.

Then I have encountered another article, this on the the mother ship that is riding in orbit around the Earth in expectation of the Rapture, when the time will come for the Nation of Islam to take off and leave us heathens for a rather lengthy period of torment and stuff.

Without drawing any parallels (Allah forbid) between the spiritual struggle against... whatever, as outlined in the first article and the Nation of Islam folks, what if this mother ship (or the wheel), huge as it is, according to Mr Farrakhan, takes aboard not just the good folks of the Nation of Islam but also these terrorists we all are supposed to be praying for. I am sure that the issue of separating the two groups while in transit could be settled easily by so advanced a civilization.
